Hello,
Let us know if anyone is interested in joining the
XUL Challenge Round 2.
In the new "Is it hot or not?" series I suggest
creating an applet/desklet that shows a five day
weather forecast using a web service (e.g.
weather.com).
As an example check out the gDesklet XUL sample:
<display window-flags="sticky, below">
<sensor id="w" module="iWeather"/>
<group id="canvas" >
<group id="today">
<image id="ccIcon" x="0" y="0"
watch="uri=w:ccIcon, color=f:color1, font=f:font1"/>
<label id="ccTemp" relative-to="ccIcon, x" x="0"
y="0" watch="value=w:ccTemp" color="white" font="Sans
bold 18"/>
<label id="location" relative-to="ccTemp, y"
watch="value=w:location" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans
bold 12"/>
<label id="ccSky" relative-to="location, y"
watch="value=w:ccSky" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans bold
12"/>
<label id="ccFlik" relative-to="ccSky, y"
watch="value=w:ccFlik" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans bold
12"/>
<label id="ccBar" relative-to="ccFlik, y"
watch="value=w:ccBar" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans bold
12"/>
<label id="ccWind" relative-to="ccBar, y"
watch="value=w:ccWind" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans bold
12"/>
<label id="ccHmid" relative-to="ccWind, y"
watch="value=w:ccHmid" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans bold
12"/>
<label id="ccVis" relative-to="ccHmid, y"
watch="value=w:ccVis" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans bold
12"/>
<label id="ccUv" relative-to="ccVis, y"
watch="value=w:ccUv" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans bold
12"/>
<label id="ccDewp" relative-to="ccUv, y"
watch="value=w:ccDewp" color="#f0f0f0" font="Sans bold
12"/>
</group>
<group id="forecast" relative-to="today, x" x="20"
y="0" watch="color=f:color0, font=f:font0">
<array layout="horizontal"
watch="length=w:forecastDays">

<label id="forecastSunrise" anchor="n"

watch="value=w:forecastSunrise" />
</group>
<group id="night" relative-to="day, x"
x="5">

<label id="forecastNightWind" anchor="n"
relative-to="forecastNightPpcp, y" color="white"
watch="value=w:forecastNightWind" />
<label id="forecastSunset" anchor="n"
relative-to="forecastNightWind, y" color="white"
watch="value=w:forecastSunset" />
</group>

</array>

Pretty impressive, isn't it? Anyways, let us know if
you want to join in and I sign you up in the XUL
Challenge Round 2 also known as the "Is it hot or
not?" series.
